Assessment of Graph Theory E-Learning Utilizing Learning Management System
This study evaluated the graph theory e-learning through the utilization of Learning Management System (LMS). In this study, the experimental group used the blended-learning method while the control group used the conventional learning method. Blended learning is defined as a combination between e-learning with LMS and conventional learning. T-test and Pearson’s correlation analyses were performed. T-test method was used in order to determine the significant difference of scores between the experimental and the control groups. The result demonstrated that students in the experimental group performed significantly better than those in the control group. The pre-test scores in algebra, calculus, and discrete mathematics showed no significant differences across the board, demonstrating the homogeneity among both groups’ participants. Furthermore, the study also utilized the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to measure user acceptance of the system. It was found that TAM can be considered as a valid instrument to assess the user acceptance of a system which in this study was the application of graph theory in LMS environment on a subject course at higher education level.
